The philosophy of Stoicism by Massimo Pigliucci

What is the best life we can live? How can we cope with whatever the universe throws at us and keep thriving? The ancient Greco-Roman philosophy of Stoicism explains that while we may not always have control over the events affecting us, we can have control over how we approach things. Massimo Pigliucci describes the philosophy of Stoicism and details the pursuit of self-improvement through 4 cardinal virtues:

Wisdom - the ability to navigate complex situations in a logical, informed and calm manner

Temperance - the exercise of self-restraint and moderation in all aspects of life

Justice - treating others with fairness, even when they have done wrong

Courage - not just in extraordinary circumstances, facing daily challenges with clarity and integrity
